I have to agree with you, Boru. It truly is not important whether a first century Jewish radical named Yeshua was actually an historic figure or not. I'd still be an unbeliever if tomorrow they could prove without any doubt whatever that he did indeed walk this earth back then.
But, can you imagine the hue and cry we'd get from the believers?! That is surely something I'd never want to have to put up with. My wife still prays that I'll come to my senses as it is. Were that to happen I shudder to think of the personal consequences......
That would certainly get more than one 24hr news cycle. We'd never hear the end of it, so it's a good thing that this is one question that will never be settled one way or the other.
